Hey guys i have a stock skyrocket that i bought one of those codes on cellunlocker.net. It said it was successful and told em to check via *#simlock# but nothing pops up like if i use *#06#. Anyone have any clue whats up? im on 4.1.2, when i put in an international sim card i couldnt pick up networks but i can change my APN. Any idea if its unlocked or how to find out if it is??
If you put an international Sim in the phone and the unlock Sim screen didn't appear, chances are you're unlocked. Try putting a T-Mobile Sim in and see if that works.

actually, if you put in any sim card that isn't AT&T and it doesn't ask for an unlock code, then it unlocked.
Saweeeet. Thanks guys

Only options right now are to call att and get the unlock code or buy one online somewhere.

Get an unlock code from them it takes a few hours and only costs 11$. Make sure you write your IMEI properly though.

Get the code from here http://cellunlocker.net
Once you pay for that code pop in your tmo sim and turn the phone on. Enter the unlock code and you're good to go. Then flash a tmo radio from the t989 section. And I think you need to enter a T-Mobile apn. Not sure.

I started rooting it but when I tried to take backup using ClockWorkMod Recoverry, I'm getting an error:
Can't mount /sdcard
I don't have a SD card. Can't I root if I don't have one?
Can I simply get out of it and it won't cause any damange to the phone?
Good thing i have att but I've never in my life had an android phone where I had to pay to unlock it that sucks

Did you try the dialer code to re-provision your sim card? This formats your internal storage so back this up, also you must be on a TW rom.

Which rom are you using exactly? By chance, are you using a JB rom? I believe this code is disabled on JB TW roms.

The phone is not locked, all you'll need to do is switch the phone to GSM mode and you'll be able to use talk & text on any GSM network around the world. If you are using the OTA JB then this option should be available in Mobile Network settings but if you're not on OTA JB then you'll need to download an app called phoneinfo to enable GSM mode.
To get data working, you'll need to be rooted, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314
You won't be able to access 3/4G in the US, but you will in countries that have 3G on the 2100MHz band

Call US cellular and have them run the IMEI to check it.
Unfortunately, as far as unlocking it and putting it on AT&T, I'm currently not seeing any unlocks for that to make it possible.

Honestly, after doing some searching... the people in this thread link below may be of the most help to you. Phone unlocking and flashing isn't my most knowledgeable subject... and according to the thread below, it's somehow possible to unlock this CDMA phone to a GSM network... which would include AT&T. So, I wish you good luck. And maybe someone more knowledgeable on this subject will answer you here.

According to the thread, you must be rooted and be on a 4.1.2 AOKP ROM for it to work.

My suggestion would be sell the us cellular one and get the one you need. You can unlock and flash but you will be limited to 3g data speeds. Your calling and texting should be ok.

And that's most likely what I will do/amd doing already, but in the mean time I would like to be able to use it. So I found and easy root methed and the phone is now rooted. because its cdma does it still need *unlocked* ?

Make a backup of the stock ROM to your internal and external memory if you have an SD card in it. Go to that thread link I provided you earlier and see if it works for you.
You'll have to flash a ROM such as the one the thread talks about to get the menu.
